This meat is delicious and kind of like what's served in the soft chicken tacos at Taco Cabana

2 tablespoons low-sodium taco seasoning

You can also use chicken breasts, but it turns out drier and not as tasty.

21 Feb 2007 - I don't have a crockpot and it would be unfair to rate it with stars as it's not a true indication to the recipe. What I did was added sliced chicken thighs and garlic in a heated an oiled pan. Cooked until the thighs were slightly brown, I added can tomatoes pieces with some jalapeno pepper (As I don't have Ro-Tel Tomatoes and read on Zaar Dictionary that this could be a substitute), taco seasoning and chicken stock. I cooked it until most of the liquid had evaporated. Then put together the taco shells with the chicken, lettuce, tomatoes, cheddar cheese (known as tasty in Australia). Topped it with some Verdi sauce. Thank you babyparentingguide the flavour was delicious - UPDATE: I finally purchased a crock pot and made this recipe. We really enjoyed it, the chicken was so tender! I sill substituted the Ro-Tel tomatoes and colby-monterey jack cheese because they both are not available in my region. I used flour tortillas instead of the taco shells - Thank you once again babyparentingguide

This is such a great recipe for chicken tacos! I've always loved the soft chicken tacos from Taco Cabana and this tastes exactly like the filling that they use. I don't have a crock pot, but I just cook this on the stove top and it works fine. I just combine all the ingredients (except cheese), heat to boiling, reduce heat and cover. Cook for about 1 1/2 hours (stirring occasionally) or until the meat starts falling apart (no need to shred). I've also tried this with pork and it was just as fantastic.
